Welcome to our January recap of TechEDGE, the EndeavorB2B newsletter that delivers credible reporting and impactful, real-world recommendations to decision-makers who buy, build, and secure technology.

Last month’s lineup of newsletters was very much about learning from smart organizations. We kicked off the year by diving into how electronics distributor and IT solutions company Avnet is using AI to accelerate its design work, simplify its sourcing and strengthen its supply chain. A crucial quote: “Our business relies on the expertise of our people, and the goal was to give them a productivity boost without forcing them to change the way they work.”

From there, we took a step back with the CEO of an oil-and-gas company to look at how his team is phasing in AI in waves. And we finished the month with a visit to GE Vernova’s R&D hub to get up to speed on cutting-edge innovation in the broader energy space—ideas that will filter out across the economy in coming years.

Also included along the way: The growth of cybersecurity budgets and the ins and outs of cyber insurance as well as what’s inside a Siemens-NVIDIA partnership that seeks to create an AI industrial revolution.
